That's probably just the result of the server being under less stress at specific times of day.
Changing your DNS will do nothing for gaming. The only thing it might improve is the resolve time for IP address requests, which will result in faster webpage loading.
You're being sold snake oil.
- @xoCRUZox May i know your location, closest server and your 'Ms' to the server your connecting too?
- @EzyHawk Playing in Connecticut, my closest server is New York (25ms)
- @Dice_Silverstorm Yeah so far it seems better but in the back of my mind I was aware it could’ve been coincidence. Thanks for the info.

I'm glad to hear this is helping. It's a pretty common practice today as many have found using alternate DNS servers speeds up not only their day to day web browsing but gaming as well. There's a wealth of knowledge available about this online if you wish to learn more. Let us know if you have any more issues. Thanks!
- @xoCRUZox Using a DNS can help you in a few ways even thou it does nothing for gaming etc it do something if you're ISP DNS is messing.
However, is the issue resolved?
Else i can try to help you with anything i can. - @xoCRUZox If you want, I'd be happy to help you with step-by-step instructions on how to check the quality of your internet connection to determine whether the problem is on your end.
- @EzyHawk After playing for a few days I believe the issue still remains. It might possibly have something to do with the hardware of my Xbox, but it seems to be better/worse at different times in the day and depending on if there’s more or less players around me in game.
- @Dice_Silverstorm I would certainly appreciate this. Thank you, let me know whatever I can do to check

Do you have a PC by chance? If so let’s find out how your connection is reaching our servers. Can you run a UO Trace and screenshot me the results? Instructions here: http://bit.ly/ConnectivityBTS.
I ran two tests, the first being wireless and the second one being wired like my xbox is. If there is anything else you need me to do please let me know. Thanks again! @EA_Aljo

Your test looks good. Did you take it while you're experiencing the lag? Also, did you try opening the ports for Apex? They are listed here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/#apexlegends.
